Introduction of Visitors
*Hymn: May The Love We Share (Rainbow Family of the Living Light)
May the love we're sharing
Spread its wings and fly
Across the earth, and bring new joy
To every soul who is alive
May the blessings of your grace
My love shine on everyone
And may we all see the light
Within, within, within

Offertory: Over the Rainbow (L. Hartley)
Sermon: Change Susan (Tiedemann) Bickel
*Hymn: Stand By Me (B.E. King)
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we see
No I won't be afraid
No I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Oh, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Darling, darling stand by me
Stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Extinguishing the Chalice Flame: (in unison) We extinguish this flame, but not the light of truth, the warmth of community, or the fire of commitment. These we carry in our hearts until we are together again.

Susan Bickel
Susan Tiedemann Bickel was born and raised in North Palm Beach and in the First Unitarian Universalist Church here. As the daughter of Hal and Eunice Tiedemann, and the step daughter of George McLafferty, Susan spent a large portion of her childhood actively involved when the church relocated from West Palm Beach to North Palm Beach 30 years ago, and she watched it grow in membership and support in the community.
The UU Principle of acceptance of one another has shaped much of Susan's life and her beliefs, as has the UU call to action in helping our fellow humans. Susan has put those tenets into action as a teacher, an environmentalist, a member of the boards of two national conservation organizations, and currently as President Pro Tem of the Village of North Palm Beach Council.
Susan earned her undergraduate degree from Georgetown University and a Master's in Education from the University of Pennsylvania. She has worked in government under Congressman Tom Lewis, in finance, and has been a teacher for 24 years. Currently she is Science Coordinator and Science Department Chair at The Benjamin School.
Susan is the mother of a 12-year-old daughter who was dedicated at 1stUUPB in 2006.
